EPHY 3200 - Material Science (3)

Prerequisites: CHEM 1200, PHYS 2320, or permission of instructor. This course introduces students to the structure of semiconductors, metals, ceramic, polymers and composite materials, and the physical principles underlying the relationship of a material’s structure to its optical, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. The course is designed to provide a scientific foundation that can be to understand material properties and optimize material properties through rational design. (Three lecture hours per week).
